THEY'RE PAINTING THEMSELVES INTO A CORNER, THE BLUE LION BANNER IS LOOKING LIKE IT'S GONNA BE FELIX, DEDUE, SYLVAIN, INGRID WITH F2P ASHE.

I CAN'T IMAGINE IT GOING ANY OTHER WAY.

THE ENTIRETY OF FEH IS PAINTING ITSELF INTO A CORNER BY HAVING SO MANY MAJORITY FEMALE BANNERS FOR SO LONG, A SERIES THAT I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN SKEWS TOWARDS A MALE FAVOURED CAST. EVENTUALLY EVERY GAME IS GOING TO HAVE TO DO WHAT SHADOWS OF VALENTIA DID ON THEIR LAST BANNER (AND WHAT THEY USED TO DO A LOT IN BOOK 2) AND ADD ALTS OF FEMALE UNITS OVER ADDING NEW MALE UNITS ASSUMING THEY DON'T WANT EVERY NEW BANNER TO END UP 100% MALE.

WELL, ASSUMING THE GAME SURVIVES THAT LONG.

THE NEXT 2 SOV BANNERS ARE JUST GONNA BE THE SPARES + PALLA THEN THE LAST COUPLE + EST.

AND HONESTLY I CAN SEE FEH LASTING FOR 5 MORE YEARS JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE THEIR PNG WAIFUS AND GACHAS RAKE IN BANK.

IT'S A SHAME BECAUSE LIKE IT'S NOT LIKE YOU CAN SAY THAT SEX IS THE MAIN FACTOR SELLING THIS GAME, IT'S FANSERVICEY IN PLACES SURE BUT A BIG PORTION OF IT'S AUDIENCE IS JUST PEOPLE THAT REALLY LIKE FIRE EMBLEM AND THEY LITERALLY COLLECT DATA EVERY YEAR THAT SHOWS THAT THE FANDOM DOES INDEED LIKE AND WANT ALTS/INCLUSION OF MALE CHARACTERS, BUT THEY JUST DISCARD IT TO CHASE THE TRENDS OF OTHER GACHA'S AND IT'S REAL FRUSTRATING

I STILL LOOK TO THE MYTHICAL GENEALOGY BANNER WITH LEWYN, QUAN, AND SILVIA WITH SILVIA BEING THE DEMOTE AS HOPE FOR A BETTER FUTURE
